Famed transgender artist Amanda Lepore refused to wait in line with hundreds of others at the Christian Louboutin sample sale yesterday morning. The diva shimmied up in a bright red, skin-tight push-up top and pencil skirt around 9:30, when there were already 300 women waiting in the rain, some having been there since 5:30 a.m. A witness said Lepore “started at the back of the line, decided she wasn’t going to wait and proceeded to waltz directly to the front of the 300 people waiting, and demanded to be let in first — which she was. Shoppers stuck in the pouring rain were furious.” An unrepentant Lepore later told us she bought four pairs of shoes and two handbags. She cooed, “They’re just as high and sexy as stripper shoes, but more comfortable.” The invite-only event — which creates such a clamor that even Blake Lively bought 40 pairs a few years ago — was at Louboutin’s West 38th Street corporate offices, where only 10 people were let in at one time. By 8:30 a.m. yesterday, more than 100 women were already in line as the first was allowed in. Meanwhile, some were desperately trying to talk their way past clipboard-wielding door staff, with tactics including name-dropping Louboutin employees, “claiming they were basketball wives” or attempting to sneak through the freight elevator — a move that failed because everyone on the list was given a stamp at the front door, which they had to show to get into the third-floor sale. Others in line included Knick Tyson Chandler’s wife Kimberly, and Marvet Britto. Sources said staff introduced two new rules that sparked a further uproar: Shoppers could buy only eight pairs of shoes, and had to check their bags. A spy said, “They had everyone’s handbags tossed into an area. It was a mountain of Celine and Hermès bags all piled up.” The sale will continue later this week — but if you’re not on the list, not a fast talker, nor famous, good luck.
